Abstract
Case report

We report the case of a 48 year-old male with bilateral involvement of the salivary and lacrimal glands, which was diagnosed as Mikulicz's disease by incisional biopsy of the affected lacrimal glands, which was completely resolved after corticosteroid treatment.

Discussion

Sclerosing sialadenitis and/or dacryoadenitis are chronic inflammatory diseases that are currently classified into IgG4-related diseases. Specifically, Mikulicz's disease is defined by a persistent and symmetrical swelling of the lacrimal and salivary glands together with elevated serum concentration of IgG4 and tissue infiltration by IgG4 (+) plasma cells.

Keywords:
Mikulicz's disease

Resumen
Caso clínico

Se presenta el caso de un paciente de 48 años con afectación bilateral de las glándulas lacrimales y salivales que fue diagnosticado de enfermedad de Mikulicz mediante biopsia incisional de las glándulas lacrimales afectadas, presentando resolución completa del cuadro tras tratamiento corticoideo.

Discusión

La sialadenitis y/o dacrioadenitis esclerosante son enfermedades inflamatorias crónicas que, en la actualidad, se clasifican dentro de las enfermedades asociadas a IgG4. En concreto, la enfermedad de Mikulicz se define por agrandamiento persistente, bilateral y simétrico de las glándulas lacrimales y salivales junto a unas concentraciones elevadas de IgG4 sérica e infiltración tisular importante por células plasmáticas IgG4 (+).
